APPROACH:

I construct my instruments using a  traditional approach.

Although I draw inspiration from the old masters, I add a personal touch to my instruments.

By using the internal mould, I am always able to create the model according to the inspiration of the moment.

I solely make use of cutting-tools; no abrasive is ever used even in the finish. This particular procedure gives my instruments an unique freshness.

I personally take care of the construction of the purfling  which is typically made of maple and dyewood. The personalization of the instrument inevitably affects its sound which is rich, strong and does not give in to the bow’s pressure. Ductile instruments offer the musician a wide range of expressive choices.

Continuous research on varnishes gave me the opportunity to discover a rare painting process which allows me to achieve excellent results obtaining various effects.

Particular attention is dedicated to the acoustic setup. By working carefully and patiently I am able to construct each instrument in such a way that I make the most of the instruments’ sound.

I construct modern and antique instruments, not only reproducing the finest details of the varnish wear, but also the distortions and asymmetries.
